Brad, a couple of things with the 8K Timbrens, it appears that it has a 1” rubber spacer which can be removed or replaced by a 1/2” spacer. Once you have that kit you can replace the single convolute and spacer with the double convolute.
I use the 8K kit in my truck and replaced the 1” spacer with the 1/2” spacer and am very happy with the ride/handling.
Yes, I added a link to the installation instructions and a link to the 1" spacer. I have two 1/2" spacers that I never used on our current Timbrens.
So I guess the 8,000 lb version is the way to go. Timbren recommends those for TC applications and you are happy with them.
I went out and checked the clearance on our current truck. There appears to be about 1" to 1-1/2" gap between the Timbren and axle.
Thanks for the help,
Brad
